Independent in Hastings from NZ$90

"Perfect place for a break away. Never heard of this hotel but absolutely loved it! Such a gentleman that works at the front desk (wished I got his name) but he helped me with my bags to and from the car as I am pregnant and they was heavy bags. Thank you for much for the lovely stay and I will definitely be back soon. "

"Friendly, cheerful welcome. offered tea or coffee on arrival. All staff pleasant, polite , helpful and friendly. Great atmosphere, being told the history of the place. A lovely place to stay in great surroundings that must be absolutely wonderful in the summer."

"Great sea view room…large room and bathroom…very clean and warm "

"Everything you need on a hotel, including fabulous location and quality of service, old world charm with modern facilities and accommodation. "

"One of the many good things about The View in Eastbourne is that it has a number of single rooms, and they represent particularly good value for money. Also, great sea views, friendly and helpful staff, nice food, good value, and very clean. My only negative experience is only a minor one. It's just a bit fiddly if you want breakfast in your room - you have to go to reception to get a little form to indicate your order, and then give it back to reception for them to take it from there. No such forms in the rooms, and no option to hook the form on your door for the night porter to collect the form and give it to the kitchen. Perhaps if you scan the code on the leaflet in the room it gets simpler, but I got a message on my phone saying it was out of date. Overall a great stay though, and the restaurant is very spacious if you want a quiet table for breakfast. "

"Very smooth service. Staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Enjoyed the free glass of wine and live piano music."

"Great relaxing short stay. Easy access to Rye "

"An elderly property essentially on the esplanade. Of course that means no lift making it inaccessible for some. On the other hand the staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the included breakfast was good and the price was incredibly low. This might have been because I visited "off season" but it was certainly about half the cost of any other lodging I used during a two-week trip across the south coast. I'd definitely go back again."

"Lovely welcoming, just be aware of the parking situation it’s not “on site” but street parking which is metered 👍"
